New Single 'Storm' out now! ⛈️ https://symphony.to/ruth-b/storm
Ruth B writes songs that feel like safe places. From the 2× Platinum breakout “Lost Boy” to the 3× Platinum global anthem “Dandelions,” the Ethiopian-Canadian singer, songwriter, and pianist has built a world rooted in emotion, storytelling, and quiet power. Her voice — calm yet commanding — has become a home for anyone who feels deeply, a soundtrack for truth, solitude, and healing.

Born and raised in Edmonton, Canada to Ethiopian parents, Ruth began writing songs as a teenager — turning her piano into a journal and her phone into her first stage. What started as a viral moment grew into a global connection built not on spectacle, but sincerity.

With more than 8.6 billion streams and a global audience of 7.7 million+, Ruth has earned multi-platinum certifications across 15+ countries and a Juno Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year. Her sound blends pop, soul, and cinematic minimalism — deeply lyrical yet instantly relatable.

Ruth continues to evolve while staying true to what has always defined her: emotional depth, musical excellence, and a quiet, undeniable power. Her songs remind us that softness can be strength, and honesty will always find its way through the noise.

Ben Howard returns with his 4th album, Collections From The Whiteout, produced alongside Aaron Dessner (The National). The foreboding darkness that coated Ben’s second record I Forget Where We Were and thinly veiled its follow up Noonday Dream, isn’t so evident on Collections. These are songs written from headlines scanned, or news stories scrolled past, providing inspiration for a selection of vivid narrative snapshots – the death of amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst (Crowhurst’s Meme); Russian fraudster Anna Sorokin (Sorry Kid); the man who stole and crashed a plane in Seattle (The Strange Last Flight Of Richard Russell); and the dismembered body a friend of his father found in a suitcase floating along the Thames (Finders Keepers). Alongside them, the personal anecdotes from the same scattered period living between Paris, Devon and Spain. Yussef Dayes features, as does Kate Stables (This Is The Kit), James Krivchenia (Big Thief), Kyle Keegan (Hiss Golden Messenger), and Dessner. Thomas Bartlett, St. Vincent’s go-to pianist, and Rob Moose, a long-standing arranger of strings for Bon Iver, are also present. Long-term guitarist to Ben’s band, Mickey Smith (A Blaze of Feather), remains a reassuring constant. It’s a sonic adventure that continues this nagging suggestion that Ben is one of the UK’s most inventive and naturally talented songwriters. CFTW is his latest opus, and arguably his most fully realised to date.
